Food delicious, lovely and hot when served, generous portions. I’m just disappointed I hadn’t been in here sooner would recommend & will be back.

We dined here based on reviews, we weren’t disappointed, food was excellent, service was casual but very efficient, the staff were a credit to the owner. would highly recommend… but it’s very popular, so pre-booking is essential!! Prices are reasonable.

Having been here before for a Valentine’s Day meal, we had no hesitation in booking again. I had to do this about 3 weeks in advance as I knew how popular it is. From memory I imagined it having tables quite tightly packed in to squeeze as many people in as possible, but in fact there was adequate space to make for a comfortable experience. The menu was extensive, the service was casual and efficient, the food was excellently presented and very tasty. And the bill was not at all excessive. We intend to spend more Valentine evenings here again,

We discovered this lovely restaurant in the summer and have been a few times since. We took the kids last night for an early dinner and it was perfect. Food is delicious and service is wonderful. It’s about a 20 mins drive for us, so not super local but well worth the trip. Our new favourite!

We had another delicious meal here last night — as always, this family-run restaurant never disappoints. Having travelled regularly through southern Italy, I can honestly say the food is exactly like being there. Everything feels authentic, full of flavour, and clearly made with care.
The service is consistently great, warm and welcoming, and the owner — as my daughter would put it — is very funny and always makes us smile. A real gem of a restaurant that we’ll keep coming back to.

Fantastic Italian restaurant with a great lunch menu! The food was very authentic and full of flavor, and the price was very reasonable. Plus, there’s no service charge, which makes it even better value (we added ourselves cuz it’s really good!). A lovely spot for a relaxed and delicious Italian meal—highly recommend!

It’s a winner every time we eat here … and sadly that isn’t often enough. We were a party of five out for a family celebration. I had the duck breast from the specials board and it was delicious, accompanies by a lovely bottle of Primitivo.

We were looking for somewhere to eat on Thursday night as not locals to the area and found Avanti. Ended up eating Thursday and Friday. Food was excellent, service excellent! We were even offered to decanter the wine, which rarely happens in restaurants. The young Team working in the restaurant are amazing! Plus they had veal and calves liver on the menu which is another rare occurrence. Thank you very much for enjoyable food, wine and service! Please do not drop the standards!

Great little Italian in Wallingford.
We called in for a quick lunch and as usual the food and service were exceptional
The fact that they will make any Pizza into a Calzone is great.
The Tiramitsu is to die for.
